Brain Dissection




2. The function of each of these structures are as follows:
Cerebrum: integration of complex sensory and neural function, and initiation and coordination of voluntary body functions.
Cerebellum: coordinates and regulates muscular activity.
Brain Stem: connects the brain to the rest of the nervous system.

3. The function of myelin in a neuron is to protect axons and to enhance the transmission of electrical impulses.




















5. The functions of the labeled parts are as follows:
Thalamus: consoisness, sleep, and sensory interpetation.
Optic Nerve: transfers visual information from the retina to the vision centers in the brain.
Medulla Oblongata: helps regulate breathing, heart and blood vessel function, digestion, sneezing, and swallowing.
Pons: connects various parts of the nervous system.
Midbrain: part of the nervous system associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, alertness, and temperature regulation.
Corpus Callosum: interconnects the two hemispheres and allows them to exchange information.
Hypothalamus: links nervous system to endocrine system.
